She had said, "That my character here is like cheese to my real-life chalk! She is as different from me as can possibly be, or even from whatever I have done so far as an actress. The prep lasted over a month - workshops with actor Pankaj Tripathi on my looks, my dialect that was a blend of Bihari and Punjabi, and my body language. I also discussed my character a lot with my director, Abhishek Chaubey, to understand exactly what she is like and what she has gone through."
